The collector marked the hostname reachable on Sep 9, 2026 at 04:51 UTC, but did not retain the HTTP response code. Registration records for the domain list Dynadot Inc as the registrar and Sep 8, 2026 as the creation date. Registration and first observation occurred on the same UTC date. At collection time, the hostname resolved to 198.251.84.200. The recorded endpoint location is Luxembourg, LU. The stored server header is LiteSpeed. DOM analysis on Sep 9, 2026 at 06:22 UTC returned 0/100; the source detections above were recorded separately. The evidence archive retains 3 visual captures from PhishDestroy, URLScan, and URLQuery. TLS metadata lists YR2 as the certificate issuer.

Stored content provides classification context, but only one source contains a positive finding. The target field identifies Across, but the record does not establish whether the page requested credentials, a seed phrase, or a wallet connection.
